The longer I live and the more experience I have of the world, the more I am convinced that, after all, the one thing that is most worth living for-and dying for, if need be-is the opportunity of making someone else more happy.

More from Booker T. Washington & related wisdom
My definition of success is doing what you love. I feel many people do things because they feel they have to, and are hesitant to risk following their passion.
Success is neither magical nor mysterious. Success is the natural consequence of consistently applying the basic fundamentals.
Character is higher than intellect...A great soul will be strong to live, as well as strong to think.
All great achievers are given multiple reasons to believe they are failures. But in spite of that they persevere.
From the greatest to the smallest, happiness and usefulness are largely found in the same soul, and the joy of life is won in its deepest and truest sense only by those who have not shirked life's burdens.
